drinkers face drought after delivery workers vote to strike

Almost 30,000 pubs and bars could run dry following the planned walkout next Wednesday.

Supplies of drinks such as Foster’s, Heineken and Strongbow to pubs run by Wetherspoons, Wells & Young’s, Trust Inns and Enterprise Inns will be affected.

Whether it’s the Houses of Parliament, Manchester City football club or your local Wetherspoons pub there will be serious consequences
